2. Aims of the Course: 

The purpose of this course is to introduce senior students (that already covered a course in computer networks) to the Internet architecture, principles, applications and programming. This area has been witnessing huge advancements, such as e-banking, e-shopping, distant learning etc. that made the Internet a valuable asset for the modern society. This course covers major protocols on the internet: IP, ICMP, TCP, and UDP. New Internet technologies are also introduced, this include: IP Multicast, Mobile IP, IPv6, and quality of service. Routing on the internet is emphasized. Some application protocols are to be presented: SMTP, HTTP, RTP, and SMNP. Network security and management aspects are included in a separate chapter. Moreover, this course introduces major techniques used in web servers and their programming, firewalls, and proxy servers. The practical laboratory hours will cover web programming aspects including: websites design using FrontPage, HTML, XHTML, JavaScript, and XML. This course will give the students a rich material for research, technical experience, and will lay the foundation for further studies in advanced computer networks.

3. Short Description: 

This course is of 7 chapters divided into 15 weeks. The student should be aware of the importance of revising the material synchronously with the lectures. A prerequisite for this course is CCEE 3160 Data Communication and Networks. The assessment is done by 1 midterm test (week 8), lab assignments, course project and a final exam.
